I've received my dental care here since 2008. They're excellent, and far above competitors in dental/medical knowledge. Clean, comfortable, highly professional and as friendly as can be. They stay cutting edge and their staff have good tenure. With the huge change in dental industry as chains of dental places that do things on the cheap have replaced real dentists, it's great to have a REAL dental practice like Kaminsky that you can rely on. My dentist there is Lauren Wolf, DMD. Dr.Wolf is the BEST dentist you could have! read more

It's interesting that the previous post mentions expensive bills that they were mislead about. I have a similar story, but thankfully my skepticism had me leave before suffering a similar fate. My dentist instructed me to have some root canal work done so I contacted Dr. Kaminsky and was told that his office could perform the work I needed. After being examined and having x-rays taken, Dr. Kaminsky agreed that his office could do the work and set up an appointment for the procedure. 2 days before my endodontist appointment I contacted the office and was told that his office had tried to email me (they wrote down the wrong email address) saying that the endodontist was concerned and wouldn't perform the root canal without a consultation. Why they hadn't called me sooner when I didn't respond to the email, I do not know. I went in an hour before the appointment to meet the endodontist. He told me that my bridgework's condition was questionable and he wanted to have a scan taken(costing several hundred dollars) so he could come up with a course of treatment. Treatment? All I came in for was a root canal. I responded that I had come in for the root canal and I would go back to my dentist to consult with him about the bridgework. He said he wouldn't perform the root canal without a scan so I left. My dentist is tops in his field with over 40 years experience along with having taught many dentists at the University of Pennsylvania's dental school. He is an artist in his field and I've had these teeth for 20 years with only one or 2 minor issues. Because of Dr. Kaminsky's office insistence on a scan and even though he hadn't seen any noticeable issues, I had him perform a scan. He informed me that my bridgework was fine and that all I needed was the root canal work that he had prescribed. Dr. Kaminsky's office had the nerve to send me a bill for the consultation. I just went in for a root canal, but was coerced into possibly signing on for an extra procedure and expensive dental work. I'm thankful that I left, but am disturbed that I did not receive one of the necessary root canals which my 2024 insurance would have covered . I have had to wait months to get the needed work done and have experienced a month of unnecessary anxiety over the thought that my bridgework was failing. The possibility of requiring very costly procedures which I think Dr. Kaminsky's office would have been glad to offer caused me more than one sleepless night. read more

I just started going to see Dr. Wolfe and I've had a great experience so far. Everyone is very friendly. I hadn't been to the dentist for a few years, so my teeth needed some help and I was a little nervous. They took me on time, Dr. Wolfe spent a good amount of time with me, and I felt well cared for. I did end up having a cavity, and Dr. Wolfe did a great job, especially with the novacaine. I had a previous horrible experience, so that was a huge relief. Only thing I didn't like was not being able to rinse and spit a few times (re:Covid) which was kinda gross feeling. But hopefully that won't be an issue soon! read more

Long waits only for service to feel rushed if you're coming in for something that is not a routine cleaning. They offer zero communication in regards to what will actually be covered by insurance. Make sure when you visit here that you have an encyclopedic knowledge of what your insurance provides, because absolutely no one here will put forth that proactive effort for you. Instead they jump in and do the work, tell you they'll file the claim with insurance, then you end up with a bill two weeks later filled with misleading information. Clearly only interested in getting as much as they can fiscally out of the patient with little regard for how that might personally affect you. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for three years for check-ups and cleaning. Always a great experience. Dr. Wolf is our dentist -- she is a superb dentist and she genuinely cares about each individual. I've had Dr. Kaminsky as well and he is equally caring. They hygienists are amazing too, love getting my teeth cleaned here. read more

I finally got health insurance with dental coverage (YAY!) and so within a month I was headed to the dentist for some quality mouth open time. I was surprised they were able to fit me in within the month since I had heard so many horror stories about dentist wait times. The office is very clean and bright and everyone who works there is really nice and chatty. I have "perfect" teeth so I can't talk about anything other than the cleaning ;-) She was superrrrr pokey which is my least favorite part but my teeth felt so squeaky clean that it was worth it. Already made my appointment for my 6 month cleaning. UPDATE: I was debating how I wanted to add to this review and I think I've decided that instead of doing an official update with a separate star rating, I'll just add it here so people can read it. My experience, as above, was great. My boyfriend went in a week or two later and his experience was MUCH different. First and foremost, I need to make it clear that I've never had a bad dental experience, I've also never had dental problems (not even a cavity). This means dentists do not bring up horrible images of pain for me outside of their incessant poking. Boyfriend is not as lucky in the dental department and has had several cavities over the year. So this is his experience, which I thought would be helpful for those with more dental issues than I have. He went in for his x rays and cleaning and it turned out he needed a filling or two (to be scheduled later) and went off to the cleaning. They tried to tell him he clearly didn't brush his teeth (we brush our teeth together every morning/night so I can attest to the fact that he does) and made him feel horrible about his teeth. They did some cleaning but told him he would have to come back for some Novocaine assisted cleaning. He made follow up appointments for the fillings/cleaning even though he really hated the experience. There was a lot of back and forth for scheduling, he canceled, they canceled, finally the second appointment came around and he got a filling and more cleaning. He asked repeatedly that they only do what was covered by insurance, but when he went to "check out" they informed him that some of it may not be covered and that he would get a bill. Horrible service. He has another appt scheduled (more fillings I think?) and has been on the phone with them arguing about the fact that they used upgraded fillings without telling him (which insurance didn't cover) and demanding a break down of what the visits would cost him. All in all his experience was very different and have made me reconsider returning there for my 6 month cleaning. read more

This was the best dentist i have been to in Philadelphia. I haven't been to a dentist in a while, and the woman who cleaned my teeth did an amazing job. My teeth have never gotten a cleaning like this, and what an amazing difference, they are soo white and clean. I thought about whitening them with over the counter stuff... but not anymore. The dentist who cleaned them paid close attention to me to read my reaction to make sure i was okay. She did great work. I highly recommend them . I will definitely go back. read more

I love coming here. The water cleaning technology is amazing and always leaves my teeth feeling super clean. The staff is informative and they are experts. Friendly service and very clean office. I'm always seen in a timely manner, and the staff takes the time to get to know patients personally, forming a very comfortable environment. read more

Big fan. I have had such drama with my teeth and the dentists who work on them, I am delighted to have found Dr. Wolf at Kaminsky Dental. My oral surgeon recommended her -- I was looking for someone downtown, and someone I could trust. Wow! She EXPLAINED things to me. Actually told me what she was doing! Possible outcomes! Recommendations! The location is convenient - right 15th & Market, above a subway stop. All of the staff is friendly. I've never had an insurance hassles, long wait times, etc. But really, most importantly, I trust that something done here wouldn't be shoddy (yet expensive) work, which is what I've dealt with in the past. And when you're talking about your teeth, you want someone you can trust, someone skilled. If you need a dentist, you will safe and happy here. read more

I've been going here for 9 years and really just love this office, even after moving out of the city I still travel back in just to go here. They are always convenient with hours and the entire staff is amazing. Just today I had to go in with my new 3 month old baby. He was fussing so Colleen at the front desk helped soothe him so I could finish my X-rays and cleaning. read more

I highly recommend this office! Its clean, conviently located and very modern. The staff is awesome and attentive. Dr. Wolf does a very good job in explaining the procedure and makes it painless. read more

I've always had a positive experience during such a negatively-viewed appointment. at Dr. Kaminsky's. Nobody likes dentist appointments. Dr. Kaminsky's office is as good as it gets. They are super professional and efficient in there. I'm pretty impressed by the technology they have (though, this may just be standard in all offices now..) You can see the X-rays that they take right then and there! Unlike many offices, they do NOT make you wait if you have an appointment. sometimes I try to get there early so as not to be late and I'm seen as soon as I walk in the door. That's unheard of in doctor/dentist offices- to be seen at the time of your appointment?? Everybody I've spoken to there is nice. Dr. Kaminsky himself stepped in to assess my teeth even though he isn't my regular dentist and he was very personable. Overall, great experiences there. Oh, and that $15 Starbucks gift card, plus handwritten thank you note for the referral wasn't bad either ;). They are so awesome. Now THAT'S great customer service read more

Kaminsky talked me into geting a procedure done that I didn't need and told me not to worry about the cost that they will be able to code it in a way that insurance will cover it. (That is borderline insurance fraud). Well they were unable to and now I'm left with a bill that I really don't have the money to pay. To top it off they are also charging me interest on it, so now a bill that I was already have trouble paying is just getting higher! Do not use this Kaminsky Dental!!! They are only after you money!!! read more

I've been getting my teeth cleaned here for about 4 years now because I wanted somewhere close to where I live. Dr. Lauren Wolf is great and always asks about how my grad school is going. Unfortunately, they are out of network with my insurance so I often wind up paying quite a bit for what is just a normal cleaning. read more

This is a very good dental practice. The dentists and dental assistants are nice, as are the office staff. What I like the most is how efficiently run the office is. I am always taken exactly at my appointment time. read more
